Why Centrus Energy Stock Soared Today
Amazon (and Meta Platforms) are going full speed ahead in setting up new data centers for artificial intelligence (AI). Nuclear power plants may be the best way to generate the electricity these AI data centers will need. Centrus helps to enrich the uranium that fuels those nuclear power plants. 10 stocks we like better than Centrus Energy › Centrus Energy (NYSEMKT: LEU) stock jumped 8.8% through 3:15 p.m. ET Wednesday on (potentially) terrific news for the nuclear power industry. Earlier this year, investors in nuclear stocks -- and artificial intelligence (AI) stocks -- were all aflutter after reports said Microsoft is slow-rolling setting up data centers for AI services. And if Microsoft is foreshadowing AI doom, this might mean we won't need to build a lot of nuclear power plants to keep AI server farms humming. Yesterday, though, Constellation Energy announced a 20-year deal to supply nuclear power to Meta Platforms server farms. Today, it was Amazon's turn to give nuclear stocks a boost, announcing a $10 billion investment in new data centers in North Carolina. Amazon is building the data centers to support its own AI infrastructure -- part of a plan that could see Amazon spend $100 billion this year on capital improvements in general, AI infrastructure in particular. And what does this mean for investors in companies like Centrus, which enriches uranium for use in nuclear power plants? Well, we now have two gigantic AI firms -- Meta and Amazon -- announcing over two straight days back-to-back gigantic deals to grow their AI businesses. Whether or not Microsoft is scaling back its own AI bets (and there is still some debate on that point), if Meta and Amazon are still going full speed ahead, that means AI is still growing. And if AI is growing, then the need for nuclear power plants to fuel that growth -- and for enriched uranium to fuel the power plants -- will grow as well. That's bullish for Centrus stock. It's why Centrus stock is going up today.

Why Alibaba Stock Is Sinking Today
Alibaba reported its latest quarterly earnings, missing big on its top and bottom lines. The company's core business is growing, but more slowly than expected, due mainly to instability in the Chinese economy. 10 stocks we like better than Alibaba Group › Shares of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) are plunging on Thursday. The company's stock was down 7.9% as of 12:43 p.m. ET and fell as much as 8.3% earlier in the day. The steep decline comes as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) edged up 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) was up 0.1%. The Chinese tech giant reported quarterly earnings that fell significantly short of Wall Street's expectations. Alibaba reported weaker-than-expected results for the quarter ended March 31. Its net income of $1.71 million (12.38 billion Chinese yuan) was well below analysts' expected $2.93 billion. Revenue grew 7% year over year to $32.58 billion, also falling short. The 7% revenue growth rate is less than previous quarters, pointing to a deceleration and highlighting issues in Alibaba's core e-commerce business. The Chinese economy isn't recovering the way many investors had hoped, and consumer spending has not returned to levels analysts had forecast. Alibaba also faces increased competition from and Temu domestically, while AliExpress, Alibaba's international marketplace, is reeling from the U.S.-China trade tensions. AliExpress also faces competition from Temu and Shein, as well, of course, from Amazon. While Alibaba faces significant challenges in the near term, the company is making significant investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and building for the future. Still, with a rocky domestic economy and international trade wars, the company's stock could struggle for some time. However, long term, I think Alibaba will succeed, and with a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) a little over half of that of Amazon, its stock is attractively priced.

'Proud' Irish pensioner killed in fatal London attack
Tributes have been paid to a 'proud Irishman' who was fatally injured while running errands in London. Kilkenny man John Mackey, 87, went to the supermarket on the afternoon of May 6 before he was allegedly set upon near Goodchild Road in North London. He suffered head injuries and died in hospital two days later. Pic: Getty Images Detective Chief Inspector Mark Rogers commented: 'John was a proud Irishman and an innocent member of the public, and was walking back home after running errands when he was the victim of this tragic incident.'' Peter Augustine, 58, of Green Lanes, Hornsey, north London, was arrested on May 8 and charged in relation to Mr Mackey's death. On Tuesday at the Old Bailey, Judge Richard Marks set a two-week trial from November 3, with a plea hearing on July 29.
